TOE THE LINE. The interior of the line will receive the most attention. It’s imperative that first-round pick Travis Frederick (70) anchor the center position. If he can’t, it’s hard to see how this group is much better than last season’s.

Cowboys special contributor Jon Machota answered reader questions during a live chat Wednesday. Here are some highlights:

What do you think the Cowboys will do with the cap space they have?

Jon Machota: Maybe add some depth up front. The Cowboys don't have a lot of depth on the defensive line so it wouldn't surprise me if they signed a player that gets cut by another team. You also never know what injuries could happen during training camp. I also think they will try to sign Lee to an extension.

Will Jakar Hamilton make the team?

Jon Machota: Good question, dw. He's probably the No. 6 safety on the depth chart behind Barry Church, Matt Johnson, J.J. Wilcox, Will Allen and Danny McCray. I doubt he'll beat out any of those guys, but if the Cowboys keep six safeties he's probably on the roster. I'd say his chances of making the team are probably under 30 percent.

Who will win the NFC East?

Jon Machota: I think it will be the Giants, followed by the Cowboys, Redskins and Eagles. It may be the most balanced division in the NFL so it really wouldn't surprise me if any one of the four won it or finished in the basement.
